Leah Williamson is a Euros winner, GQ cover star and a role model for children. Now, as she eyes glory Down Under, she’s got the world at her feet

How many people can say they’ve captained England to a major trophy before the age of 26?

Two. The late Bobby Moore and Leah Williamson. Moore was 25 years old when he lifted the World Cup in 1966. Williamson was the same age when she guided the Lionesses to their first piece of silverware last summer.

Williamson turns 26 today and has already got the world at her feet. The Arsenal defender has every chance of making it back-to-back trophies Down Under this summer.

England will be one of the favourites to win the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and a big part of that is down to the leadership of their captain.
